@countryman, what a confused little site you have found.
I'm sure Oppenheimer would be absolutely thrilled to know his words are now being used to sciencify wilful ignorance.

I've noticed that the snow disappears in the spring every year.....

Donald would disagree.
Nothing wrong

Apparently it is easier to forecast snow 100 years out than 2 weeks out, let alone next season. Hmmm...

@ulmerhutte Didn't know there was another Victorian in these forums! Most climate scientists are going with the correlation with global temperatures and CO2 emissions. We are not really making accurate predictions, just inferring from our past.

Was up at St Moritz last season.
You can see the glacier melt and erosion just from the past decade is huge.
Factor in global drying, and it is hard to see any ski resorts left in the Alps below 2000m by 2050-2100.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Naaah Leo said when we hit the tipping point the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation will stop - so with no more Gulf Stream Europe will get colder and snowier and skiing will be fine. Leo knows that he's on about, right, RIGHT?!

What on earth are you going on about?
Global warming = ice loss = global wetting

You know it makes sense.

I have noticed another problem. I am constantly coming across stones and bits of rock in the road, which have been eroded from the mountain. I think the Alps are gradually wearing out.

Surely that depends upon the length of his garden......that fact was conveniently left out of the article by a bleeding liberal remainer I have no doubt.

Well, the snow is disappearing in the Arlberg. Today. It's raining. 
... but it will be back on Friday.

Time to catch up, son.
The world's land is warming faster than the oceans.
Global relative humidity is falling.
Aka global drying.
Snowfall in the European Alps has declined 10-30% in the past 30-40 years.

82-96% sure you made up those statistics, son. Citation?

Distribution of water is likely change (/is changing) - and much of the mid-latitudes in Northern Hemisphere, including the US as well as Europe and large parts of China, could face quite severe consequences - but there's nothing global about it. The higher latitudes, plus areas like Eastern Africa and Indonesia, in particular, are likely to get wetter.
It's not just the rich getting richer - wet-getting-wetter/dry-getting-drier works pretty well to.
Geopolitically things could potentially get VERY interesting in ~100 years or so, as it's not unreasonable to expect some fairly large changes as to which parts of the world are habitable/viable for agriculture.
[collective groaning]One reason why increased globalisation, more borders open to people as well as trade, and less importance placed on 'country' and where people were born may become imperative...[/collective groaning]
Maybe our great grand children will all be desperately piling into refugee boats to Russia and Greenland...  #ApocalypseNOW
